Smart Film, also known as PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) film, is a switchable glass film that can change between transparent and opaque states with the flip of a switch. It operates using liquid crystal molecules embedded in the film, which align when an electric current is applied, making the film clear. When the current is off, the film becomes opaque for privacy or light diffusion.
Privacy protection
To protect privacy and security, control transparency or opacity anytime. Make your space versatile—choose open or private at will.
Security
Even if the glass is broken, the fragments can still be adsorbed on the PDLC film, which can avoid personal injury caused by broken glass.
Better Sound Insulation
Compared with ordinary glass, the anti-noise ability of glass enhanced with PDLC film is significantly increased by 20%, providing a serene environment.
Scratch-Resistance
A scratch-resistant, wear-resistant coating enhances durability, prevents daily scratches, and maintains high-definition transparency without affecting clarity.
6 Thickness Configurations
Filmbase PDLC Laminated Smart Glass is available in six thickness configurations to cater to various structural and design needs: 4mm+PDLC+4mm (0404), 5mm+PDLC+5mm (0505), 6mm+PDLC+6mm (0606), 8mm+PDLC+8mm (0808), 10mm+PDLC+10mm (1010), and 12mm+PDLC+12mm (1212).
3 Transmittance Levels
Filmbase PDLC Laminated Smart Glass is available in three transmittance levels: 085 at 72%, 087 at 75% and 091 at 77%.
Smart Glass 085 - High Clarity
The 085 PDLC Film in the Filmbase Plus+ Smart Glass series offers high clarity, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring a balance between light transmission and privacy. When integrated into laminated smart glass, 085 PDLC Film provides a soft, diffused lighting effect while maintaining a clear, bright appearance. With transmittance levels reaching 82% in 0404 Plus and 80% in 1212 Plus, it ensures sufficient natural light while effectively switching between transparent and opaque modes. This option is ideal for corporate offices, luxury residences, hotel partitions, and retail displays, where a combination of visibility and discretion is essential. It also provides >99% UV blocking and 86% IR rejection, enhancing energy efficiency while reducing glare and heat buildup.
Smart Glass 087 - Super Clear
The 087 PDLC Film in the Filmbase Plus+ Smart Glass series is engineered for superior clarity, offering a higher level of brightness and transparency compared to 085. With transmittance levels reaching 83% in 0404 Plus and 81% in 1212 Plus, this film provides enhanced brightness and a more open feel, making it perfect for premium office spaces, healthcare facilities, and luxury hospitality environments. Its super clear performance allows for seamless integration into high-end commercial interiors, ensuring a modern aesthetic while maintaining instant privacy control. The 087 PDLC Smart Glass is particularly effective in areas where natural light is a priority, such as conference rooms, lobbies, and high-end retail storefronts, delivering crystal-clear visibility without compromising on privacy functionality.
Smart Glass 091 - Ultra Clear
The 091 PDLC Film in the Filmbase Plus+ Smart Glass series is the ultra-clear option, providing the highest level of transparency across all available configurations. With transmittance levels reaching 87% in 0404 Plus and 84% in 1212 Plus, it allows for maximum daylight penetration, creating an unparalleled sense of openness. This makes it the preferred choice for luxury residences, architectural facades, high-end commercial spaces, and premium executive offices. The 091 Ultra Clear Smart Glass is also highly suitable for smart partitions in upscale meeting rooms, glass-walled penthouses, and modern art galleries, where clarity and natural light enhancement are top priorities. Combining instant privacy control with outstanding optical performance, it sets the standard for cutting-edge smart glass technology in contemporary design.
What is Laminated Glass?
Traditional Glass
Annealed Glass
Breaks easily into long, sharp splinters, posing higher injury risk; suitable for basic uses.
Standard Quality Glass
Tempered Glass
Shatters into small, blunt pieces under higher levels of impact; ideal for safety-critical applications.
High Quality Glass
Laminated Glass
Cracks under pressure but holds together, adhering to its vinyl interlayer for added safety.
PDLC Technology
PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology allows glass to switch between transparent and opaque states by applying an electrical current.
